I tested some last year and here is what I found.
Pack of 3 regular xbow not mega meats, I messed with the first one unlocking a blade or 2 then locking in back in.
That one ended up being a flyer so to me there is a trick getting blades locked into position properly.
the ones I never touched flew perfectly with field points out to 60 yards. No hunting experience though but have heard decent results.
Also, for me the practice head did not fly with real broadheads, good news is the real broadheads were spot on with field points

How did you test it? Did you shoot the broadhead into a target?

Yes, 60 yards into broadhead target.
I tested quite a few last summer.
The ones out of the box ( that i did not mess with ) flew perfect.
The one I messed with flew 5" right and 6" low if I recall and on the target you could see 1 blade open at impact due to me not clipping it back on properly.

Yeah, you need to make sure that they are pushed forward all the way before clipping them into the retainer. It's not too hard to get that "click" feel and not have them locked completely forward and in the retainer. For what it's worth I tried the Dead Meats before the Mega Meat and wasn't nearly as impressed with the wound channels. Sure seems like more than half inch cutting diameter between them!

I was wondering of the deer you shot were they with MegaMeat or the DeadMeat and if you had any bone encounters.
An archery tech local said he hit a doe in the shoulder last year with the smaller Deadmeat and it blew through both shoulders, R29x at 450fps at 40 yards.

Only ribs on a few and front of ribcage (brisket) on one sharply quartering away shot. No damage on those. Sorry it took me a while to respond...Was vacationing in the OBX.

Hey Fishbones, I did have one pass through 2 sets of ribs and bury in this log. Tried to dig it out with my knife but it was too deep. I managed to dig it out my next hunt, and to my amazement there was no damage including the blades.

 

[Pic-N Stick]

And yeah, LOVE my '05 Tundra...best vehicle I've ever owned. I wish they had never changed them! It's almost broken in at 156k! LOL! What year is your Prius? 400k is impressive!!

2008 prius gen 2.
After 400k I gave it to the wife to drive and bought the Avalon.
That Tundra looks like new, beauty.

Here is a little update on the Mega Meats. 8 more deer so far and no tracking needed. But following the short blood trails just makes me laugh and shake my head. Last pic is a typical entrance hole.

 

[Brian Moore]

Mega Meat 100 gr 41 yards big entrance hole blood everywhere

 

[robertyb]

Very nice buck. Congrats.

 

[fishbones]

Same here, just killed a nice 10 point on the 14th, first kill with Megameat, good holes in and out and no deflection but it was slightly quartering away.
50 Yards full run to drop dead, double lung. not best pics but a big pile of hair on the exit side at point of shot.

Beautiful buck, great shot...X2! Way to go, guys! Hope you both are as impressed with the Mega Meats as I am!

Yes Sir! it will be in my quiver next year, tagged out this year.
For first time users some advice.
Check all blades for positive lock click, slightly pull up to make sure they dont pop out easy.
I had 1 that would not stay clipped well, swapped a couple different collars and same deal, I think its a bad blade (not thick enough to lock in good).
I test them each time I load one in the crossbow just to make sure each blade is clipped good.

Shoots like field points, massive holes in and out, so far I am sold.

A couple more deer taken with the Mega Meat, same impressive results! Wish I could attach the vid but it's too big to send. The blood trail was 6 feet wide and 50 yards long.

That hole looks familiar same hole through both the lungs on the last deer I shot.

 

[svbubba]

???..........can you change the blades between the mega and the deadmeat v2.........the ferrules look the same......?

 

[Primetime9]

I did have blade pre-deployment out of my TP Siege RS. These were the crossbow models. I put a small dab of glue on the collars where they connect to the blades. Problem solved!
